ARAB COMMUNITY

Yad Hanadiv’s Arab Community seeks to create equal opportunity for Arab citizens of Israel. It currently devotes most of its attention to promoting employment and career opportunities for Arabs. Two major strategies are central to this effort: theArab Employment Initiative to increase rates of employment in the Arab community, through infrastructure which enables and encourages larger numbers of Arabs to enter the labour force; and the Arab Excellence Initiative, which focuses on nurturing an elite cadre of role models in Science and Technology who will pave the way for larger numbers of promising young Arabs to forge successful careers in these areas.

Our grant making extends to education as well, with a multi-year effort to advance literacy of Arab school children who are challenged by the discrepancies between the colloquial Arabic that they speak and the Classical Arabic that they are taught in school.
